A Jochen of all trades for Sabres, Germany

‘”Jochen is a good, all-round player,” continued Ruff. “He should be able to be a special-teams player for them, both on the power play and with penalty killing. We knew how his versatility would help us. We knew he had played a lot of center before he got to the Sabres. “That’s why with all the injuries we’ve had this season, Jochen was able to make the switch from left wing to center without any problem. It will be a nice problem that Team Germany with have using Jochen at the best position.”‘
